TopCashback has 3% cashback

Boots have a nice bubble skincare set for £35, it’s not on the 3 for 2 but it’s good value for the full size bottles. I bought dd the travel size ones last year so I know she’ll be happy with this

Does anyone know if Medicube will have some kind of gift set? DD has asked for some of the zero pore pads but it's always nice if there's a fancy box and a few extras.

Neal's Yard Remedies Bee Lovely Nourishing Collection, Pack of 4 £18.75

We're Going on a Bear Hunt: £4.97

Playmobil | Asterix | Legionary Tent £17.57

Yes! I wrote down what they did last year: Tues 18th November Smiggle advent cal dropped to £12.50. Thurs 20th Smiggle advent now £10.

I have this one, the kids use it more than me and if it can survive them it must be pretty bombproof.

Thanks - taken a punt on this which is discounted plus 10% extra with blue light. I like that you can collect to avoid postage and they support local shops.

Thank you! Now that's detailed planning I like!
Hopefully will do similar this year!

For anyone taking advantage of the Harper Collins 50% off, there is also 15% cashback on TopCashBack. It might ultimately be rejected, but mine has tracked at that rate.

Does anyone know if stackers jewellery boxes do anything for Black Friday? I’d love one for dd. Can anyone advise if they look as good in real life? There is 15% on blue light but they are so expensive and I’d hate to miss a better deal!

Hi guys, I need to buy 2 iPads, anyone aware of any deals or the cheapest way to do this please? We will be buying them for our business if that makes a difference!

Oh no what a headache!

These ones were from the royal mail store, bar coded and everything. Only 20p cheaper than buying at the post office, but that adds up over a few Christmas cards. So I'm hoping they're legit!

@ChristmasMad1 maybe we need to resurrect this thread

Bargain festive loo roll, anyone? 45 rolls for £15.99

Can't help on discounts for this I'm afraid but I have a stackers jewellery box (a gift from my sister a few years ago!) and it's really nice quality. I just have two layers (one of what they call the "lid" and then a single jewellery layer under that) - I would say it's helpful for the bottom layer to be a drawer so you dont always have to lift the top off to access it.

@MyWildDuckThank you for that. That’s good to know I’ll definitely get her one. Just might hold on a little longer.

@nicky2512 - they sell them in JL so you can go and look at them irl before committing.

There’s also lots for sale on Vinted and eBay, often brand new.

@nicky2512stackers have definitely done offers on Black Friday. I got myself one during it maybe the year before last. I didn’t look last year so I can’t tell you how good it was.

I bought mine from Amazon, so it would be worth keeping an eye on there, especially with prime days coming up.

@IlovePondThank you. We don’t have John Lewis but I’ll keep an eye on their site. Genuinely didn’t think of Vinted. Will have a look.

@Nellynoo182 we have brought reconditioned iPads direct from Apple, no issue with them. You have to keep checking for stock and they often come in stock after midnight from memory.

What is this tip? Thanks

I got my original set from John Lewis on sale, can't remember if it was BF or not though.
I've got the drawer ones, and really like mine. It's great that you can add layers, I've just added a new necklace layer to mine.
